Short breaks guide (booklet)

Whether it’s the annual family holiday, a weekend with friends, a day out in town or an afternoon’s activity, taking a break is vital to everyone’s wellbeing.

Short breaks are opportunities to enjoy family or friends, go on an adventure and explore different places, meet new people or just a chance to relax and recharge your batteries.

This guide aims to help you research your own break or activity. It could be a weekend in an accessible hotel with or without care provided, a stay in a respite care centre, or a daytrip away from usual surroundings.

There are lots of accessible places around the UK and abroad for you to enjoy and explore.

You can download a pdf of this booklet on this page or order a free copy from our shop or email us to order a large print version
